We are using tertian malaria_because it is the most benign form of that disease. It apparently bullds up_resistance within and we are not bothered about getting it through the blood stream filter which passes its microorganisms. “Results of the treatment in both Hamburg and Vienna have been very favorable. Patients suffering from paresis have what we call remissions, periods when the symptoms are prace tically gone. With patients who have reached the malaria treatment, these remissions are about three times as numerous. And_half of them have remitted for such long periods—sev- eral years—that they have been call- ed cured. We can not yet be sure, however, for blood tests show that they stiil have syphills. More time must_elapse before the cure can be determined as such.” “The greatest trouble experlenced now,” Dr. White said, “is to obtain persons suffering from tertian ma- laria.’ Only a cubic centimeter—two-fitths of a teaspoonful—of blood are needed from each malaria patient.
